“Superb!”

Would love to stay longer! Quiet, cozy, comfortable and filled with lots of great books and art! Only issue...would have loved better signage in the alley to let us know we were at the right address.

Response from the managerHi Barbara:
I love the idea of some signage, will pass it on to the owners!
We hope to see another time. Thank you for the review and for
staying with us.

“Writer's Retreat”

Reviewed 14 Sep 2013

If we return to Bend, we will stay there again if it is available. Our only complaint was they need to dust under the bed.

Response from the managerHi James:
Thank you for pointing those dust bunnies, they are gone now.
Come back to see sometime soon!

“Perfect Getaway!”

“Great for a couple, not the best with infant/toddler”

Reviewed 5 Sep 2013

The location is great! If you enjoy walking, you can walk almost anywhere! The space was extremely clean and well kept and very bright and cheery.
I think this space would be great for a couple, but I wouldn't recommend if you have a baby or toddler. Prior to booking, I asked if it had a separate bedroom, because it was a little confusing to me in the listing. I was told it did have a bedroom with a door that shut. What she failed to mention was that the place has huge vaulted ceilings and the bedroom walls are only normal height. So the whole space is one big open loft. Once we put our baby to bed at 7, we had to be quiet, since there was really no separation between rooms.
Also, as other reviewers have noted, the garage door does go up and down frequently and is very loud.
Overall, this place is great it just wasn't ideal for my family. I would return without kids.

Response from the managerHi Dawn:
I am sorry I did not consider the ceiling in our conversation, it never occurred to me for any noise.
Your point is a really good one to address, thank you! We try to have the garage door use take place
only during mid-day use. We hope you are able to come back when little one is older (or dare we say)
for some couple time another time! Thanks again!

“Perfect Little Hideaway!!”

The right place...the right price...perfect for everything we needed.

“Loved it!”

Reviewed 14 Aug 2013

We LOVED the Writer's Retreat. It was so clean, modern and comfortable. I only have one complaint; we were unable to use the wifi in the property. Upon arriving and discovering that the password provided would not work I called Bend Dutch Rentals and left a message. My call was returned right away and I was told that they would call the property owner. I never heard back and the wifi never worked. Even considering this issue I would still go back!

Response from the managerHi Nicole:
Thank you for the review and my sincerest apologies in regads to the wifi. We did contact the owner and it was my understanding
from him that it was working. A 2nd call should have been made to you most definitly, I am sorry that did not occur. We appreciate
your generosity in understanding. Sincerely.
